PDM Launches Innovative VFI Transformer with Advanced Overcurrent Protection for Data Centers
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Revolutionary vacuum fault interrupter technology enhances uptime, safety, and remote management for high-density power infrastructures
ATLANTA, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Power and Data Management LLC ("PDM") proudly announces the launch of its VFI Transformer, a cutting-edge medium voltage padmount transformer featuring integrated vacuum fault interrupter (VFI) technology and advanced relay systems designed specifically to meet the stringent demands of modern data centers and hyperscale computing environments.
As data centers operate continuously around the clock with rapidly increasing power requirements--driven in part by AI and high-density computing workloads--maintaining electrical system integrity and minimizing downtime are critical. Overcurrent faults such as short circuits or ground faults present significant risks of equipment damage, extended outages, and personnel hazards if not promptly and effectively isolated.
Addressing a Mission-Critical Challenge
Jake Ring, PDM President and Co-Founder notes, "We integrate vacuum fault interrupters and advanced relays into our new medium voltage VFI padmount transformers, enabling not only overcurrent protection but real-time monitoring, automated reset, and arc flash mitigation." This comprehensive protection package enables data center operators to rapidly detect and isolate faults, understand trip causes, and execute safe recovery protocols.
Key Benefits of the PDM VFI Transformer Include:
-- Minimized Downtime: Protective breakers trip only when necessary,
preventing nuisance trips while ensuring system reliability
-- Enhanced Safety: Adjustable interrupt ratings and relay-driven
diagnostics significantly reduce arc flash hazards during maintenance
activities.
-- Reduced PPE Requirements: Minimizes the need for heavy personal
protective equipment (PPE) for technicians, which can also contribute to
lower insurance rates.
-- Remote Diagnostics and Reset: Reduces the need for onsite personnel
intervention, eliminating manual fuse replacements during critical
outages.
-- Exceptional Lead Times: Delivered in as little as nine weeks,
outperforming industry lead times that often range from 50 to 105 weeks
(about 2 years).
Designed for the Scale and Complexity of Hyperscale Data Centers
With transformer ratings surpassing 3000 kVA to keep pace with escalating load demands, traditional fuse-based protection proves increasingly inadequate. PDM's VFI Transformer is engineered to accommodate these large-scale requirements, supporting loop-feed configurations and concurrent maintainability essential for hyper-scale data centers operating at 100+ megawatt levels.
"Our new VFI Transformer demonstrates PDM's commitment to combining reliability, safety, and operational efficiency in delivering industry-leading overcurrent protection technology," notes Adeel Usman, PDM VP of Sales and Marketing.
About PDM
PDM manufactures transformers and circuit breakers to hyper-scalers, co-lo's, enterprises, and utilities. Our exclusive global partnerships with manufacturers enable us to offer built-to-spec transformers with a lead time of 9 weeks and circuit breakers of 5 months. We leverage global relationships and leadership experience from careers at GE and Emerson Electric to deliver efficient, reliable power distribution solutions. Our US-based operations in Salt Lake City strengthen our ability to meet requirements for 'Made in USA with imported and domestic parts' which enhances our supply-chain reliability and economic impact at home.
